This study examines the impact of capital structure on firm performance in Indonesia's technology sector, focusing on the moderating role of agency cost. Using panel data from 28 listed technology companies (2018–2023), the analysis explores how Debt-to-Assets Ratio (DTA) and Debt-to-Market Capitalization Ratio (DTMC) affect Return on Assets (ROA), Tobin’s Q, and Earnings Per Share (EPS). Results show that DTA negatively impacts ROA, while DTMC positively affects it. However, DTMC negatively influences Tobin’s Q and EPS. Agency cost, measured by Asset Utilization Ratio (AUR), significantly moderates the relationship between capital structure and ROA and Tobin’s Q but not EPS. The findings emphasize the importance of balancing leverage and operational efficiency to optimize firm performance.
